I'll pick up all seasons of thirtysomething on day of release...no sale, no coupon necessary. Just waiting to give someone my money.

Roger Ebert--"This is one more pathetic example of the dumbing of America--to show the films in the wrong aspect ratio to placate the stupid, instead of in the right aspect ratio to reward the knowledgeable."

I was going to ask about THIRTYSOMETHING. I didn't really watch the first few seasons, but really got into it in the final. And with the Miles character in a few episodes of ONCE AND AGAIN, got thinking about it.

As for RELATIVITY, I starting watching it, but it wasn't up to the others for me. Still, I'd definitely give it another shot on DVD.

After doing the teens with MSCL, 20s with RELATIVITY, 30s with 30 SOMETHING, 40's with O&A, when are they going to do a show about 50 somethings?

Because I loved both "My So Called Life" and "Once & Again", I would definitely rent "Thirty Something" if it came out on DVD. Matter of fact it's the one show I keep hoping I'll see a news bite about on TVShowsOnDVD.com. So far, no luck.

I believe that when 30something aired in reruns on Bravo that it didn't do as well as expected. Perhaps this has made the studio that owns it reluctant to invest in a DVD release. Personally, I prefer the later seasons of the show when they dealt with one character's illness and another's exit. Hope I'm not giving away anything to those who haven't seen it.

Just done a forum search for the TV series thirtysomething and found just this thread. I'm surprised no one has posted about the DVD releases from Shout! Factory. The first season was released to buy on Region 1 in April 2009, the second season was released in January this year, and the third season is out on 11th May.

As for shows about older generations, that could get interesting, but I don't know how much of a TV audience it would draw.

Season 3 this May, and I think season 4 in September. I can't wait. Some snow days gave me the change to plow through seasons 1 and 2 that I'd had on the shelf since I picked them up at release time. As good as I remember and great package from Shout Factory.

thirtysomething must not be popular on HTF (same with the Law & Order shows).
With the third season being released in the spring on Region 1 then maybe the remainder of the series will be released by Shout! Factory before the end of the year.

What is the picture/print quality like? I remember seeing bits of thirtysomething when Channel 4 showed it in the UK (and this was many years before More 4 and E4 started). I think it may have had a similar look to it which Dallas, Falcon Crest and Knots Landing had during the mid to late 80's.

Danny, you are absolutely correct. They also don't sell as well. Thirtysomething is too self-indulgent and stilted for my taste, but your general point is spot-on.

After three seasons of thirtysomething releases with audio commentaries and great interviews...

this 4th (final) season release--an Amazon exclusive--contains no extras save for a quick intro from the creators. No episode commentaries! And with so many crucial episodes story-wise!
